Pentecost Sunday
"And I will ask the Father and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always." Pentecost fulfilled this promise. The Holy Spirit came upon the apostles and nothing was ever the same again. This event is often referred to as
the "birthday" of the church. It took Pentecost--and the power of the Spirit--to embolden the apostles to begin their
ministry of preaching and baptizing. Conversions began to happen and the early church began to grow. And all of this
took place without Jesus' earthly presence among them. This is one of the most encouraging elements of the practice
of our Christian faith. We believe that through the Holy Spirit, God dwells within us and empowers us. We believe
that even though we never walked with Jesus and the apostles, we are nonetheless accompanied by the same Spirit
who is always available to us! We only need to stir up this Spirit within our souls by praying sincerely, "Come, Holy
Spirit!" The special hymn of today's feast, called the sequence, does just this. It also expresses well the package of
"benefits" that come from the presence of the Advocate among us: "You, of comforters the best; You, the soul's most
welcome guest; Sweet refreshment here below; In our labor, rest most sweet; Grateful coolness in the heat; Solace in
the midst of woe." And not only do we receive these personal blessings, but the Church herself also receives a tremendous gift. As Jesus said, "The Advocate, the Holy Spirit... will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told
you." It is only through this divine guidance from on high that the Church has the power and privilege to teach and
guide us who are still here below.
Domingo de Pentecostés
Hoy la Iglesia proclama y alaba a una voz. ¡Ven, espíritu Santo, y enciéndenos en el fuego de tu amor! Deja en
nosotros tus siete sagrados dones. Don de "sabiduría", para que encontremos sabor a las cosas de Dios. Don de
"entendimiento", para entender mejor lo que es verdadero y lo que es falso. Don de "ciencia", para que veamos lo
bueno del mundo. Don de "consejo", para que sepamos siempre actuar acorde a tu voluntad. Don de "piedad", para
saber amar Dios como Padre y a Jesús como Hijo. Don de "temor de Dios", para saber alejarnos de las cosas que lo
ofenden. Don de "fortaleza", para ser verdaderos discípulos misioneros de Jesucristo y sus testigos dando testimonio
de su resurrección. ¿Qué don pides al Espíritu Santo? Imaginas que estás en el cenáculo reunido con todos. ¿Que ves,
que escuchas, que respondes? El comienzo de la predicación de Jesús en la sinagoga fue sellado por el don del
Espíritu. "El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí" (Lc 4, 18). Ahora, al comienzo de la Iglesia con los apóstoles y la Virgen
Maria, todos reunidos en un mismo lugar, da comienzo la predicación y testimonio de ellos sellados con la efusión del
Espíritu. Viento, fuego y don de lenguas son símbolos que nos ayudan a identificar al Espíritu Santo. Agradecemos y
alabamos a Dios en esta Eucaristía por este tiempo de Pascua y por enviarnos su Espíritu, que sus siete sagrados dones
sean dados a muchas personas en sus comunidades para que podamos cada día vivir mejor como hijos e hijas de Dios,
siendo fieles seguidores del Señor resucitado.

Sharing the Gospel
God the Father sent the Holy Spirit to take the place of Jesus on earth. When you are at home,
in school, or in church, the Holy Spirit helps you learn new words and new skills. He helps you in
your studying and praying. The Spirit helps you remember things from last week and last year.
The Spirit helps you use this knowledge to lead you to heaven. The disciples must have missed
spending time with Jesus after he went back to heaven. But they knew that the Holy Spirit would
always be with them, helping them remember what Jesus taught them. The disciples kept learning
about God and kept growing closer to him. The Holy Spirit will help you remember Jesus, too.
Prayer
Father, I am thankful for the Holy Spirit who helps me learn new things.
Something to Draw
Draw the Holy Spirit on your shoulder helping you.
Mission for the Week
Pray to the Holy Spirit. Ask him to help you learn more about Jesus.
